Introduction There is often a requirement to support specialised computers and computer-based systems that were designed decades ago but which must continue to operate in critical applications and difficult environments. These legacy systems are found in both military and commercial applications and include systems for …

. Choosing the optimal storage solution for system integrators can be very challenging. Although 3D TLC has sufficient storage capacity, it cannot provide the demanded performance and durability. Meanwhile, the cost of SLC may outweigh its disadvantages. Therefore, iSLC technology was developed for the demands between high-end/critical SLC and the low-end 3D TLC markets. iSLC …

Conventional file systems like FAT, UFS, HFS, ext 2 and NTFS were originally designed for magnetic strips and as such rewrite data repeatedly to the same area. However, a solid-state Compact Flash (CF) card can be put through a limited number of erase cycles before becoming unreliable. This is usually around 3,000/100,000(MLC/SLC) cycles. Wear levelling …

Written By: David T. Dunn 1. Introduction The United States Armed Forces and global allied militaries must depend upon a variety of aging computer platforms. These “legacy” computers were used in many military test stands. A large number of these older ATE stations remain in use today, providing critical testing capability for early versions of …
